Hi everyone, Happy Friday and November 1 to you. What's the plan for this weekend? There are two major items on our to-do list: 1) I have to remember to turn our clocks back on Sunday. Not looking forward to that. Yes, the extra hour of sleep is nice, but now we start talking about 4:30 p.m. sunsets. Bleah. 2) Much to our great disappointment, we didn't have any trick-or-treaters last night, so now I also need to make sure BDH and Little Buddha don't eat all of the leftover candy this weekend. It doesn't take much to get them... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? I made progress catching up on this week's errands yesterday, but there's still some backlog to deal with today. No luck at the bookstore, but BDH and Little Buddha have already moved on to what might arrive next week. They're two little optimism machines, although I think they might also be a bit distracted by the Halloween candy bags I just bought. We try to keep it under control, but our crew has a sweet tooth. Hopefully enough kids will stop by tomorrow to make sure we don't have a lot of sweets left over... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Week going okay so far? I had to help Dad Clutter yesterday, so today is all about catching up on the to-do list. BDH and Little Buddha told me not to worry about it. The guys think there's plenty of time to take care of everything, and I can always move the weekly trip to the bookstore to tomorrow if necessary. I tell you, nothing fazes these guys. They're always able to go with the flow. I want to be more like them. Let's get to work and check out the headlines. There's a fresh... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? I'm feeling better, now that I got a little more sleep last night. BDH and Little Buddha were just going over today's to-do list. There aren't that many items, but it will likely take all day to complete them. Someone was kind enough to send the guys an early copy of Alex Van Halen's new memoir (you can find our review here), so I also need to go to the bookstore to check out the new releases. Thankfully, it sounds like the weather will be lovely again. Are you ready to get started? Let's do... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? I'm doing a little better, now that I just double-checked today's to-do list with BDH and Little Buddha. I knew there was a dentist appointment on there, but I had the wrong time in my head. Thankfully, the guys pointed out that I was off by a few hours. There's a reason why these two are in charge around here. Now that I know I don't have to rush out the door, let's check out some headlines. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so grab yourself a nice medium DD,... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? This week already seems to be flying by too quickly. No luck at the bookstore yesterday, but that's okay. Like I mentioned yesterday, BDH and Little Buddha are looking forward to Alex Van Halen's memoir which arrives next week. They've been waiting for this since they read the first announcement for it back in February, so it's almost like an early Christmas present. Today's to-do list involves a bit of running around, so let's get to work. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? We hope you're enjoying your weekend. It's been pretty brutal so far on this end. I got several vaccinations on Friday afternoon and then woke up on Saturday feeling like I'd been in a car accident. There was also a bit of a fever, which just seemed unnecessary. I'm doing better now, after about 18 hours of sleep and 20 gallons of water. However, today's schedule will probably consist of just watching football on the couch with BDH and Little Buddha. That sounds like a solid plan. Speaking of our duo, I'm not sure if... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. What's on tap for this weekend? It doesn't look like we're going to get that rain we were expecting, so I need to water the garden later today. Other than that, things are in flux as we continue to work on some scheduling issues with Dad Clutter. I assume BDH and Little Buddha would like some reading time at some point. They only have about 100 pages left in their current book, and we need to k now how many of the main characters will survive. Anyway, we'll figure... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Our crew is doing well at the moment, although we're still getting used to the later sunrises. It was easier to get out of bed when it wasn't still dark outside. Those of you who were here yesterday know we had a big debate over whether to focus on the to-do list or just read one of our new books. After extensive discussion, we reached a compromise: I did all of the errands, and then we spent the rest of the day reading. It worked out well. The weather was lovely, and BDH and Little...

Hi everyone, How are you? Our crew is doing fine at the moment. Unfortunately, I struck out at the bookstore yesterday. We still have the option of buying the final installment in the trilogy that BDH and Little Buddha were reading a few weeks ago. However, I'd like to hold off on that one for a little while longer. Oh well, maybe we'll find something next week. The guys just gave me the newest to-do list, and it starts with checking out the headlines with all of you, so let's get to work. There's a fresh pot of coffee on... Read more →
